It Bites - The Tall Ships

A personal favorite record over the last two years that I find myself listening to as of late, and the closest to perfection, in my hurable opinion, that proggy pop-rock can get. Absolutely cracking harmonies, glorious guitar work, and some wonderfully emotive songwriting and production values to give everything just the right amount of color. :)

Amen to that. Along with the Celibate Rifles, the TriffiRAB and the Church, they're probably my favourite product of that whole garage rock scene in Australia in the late 70s/early 80s (although I'm not really 100% sure the Church were from that same scene though). Agreed on how they have literally no bad albums as well - one or two of them don't interest me so much, but otherwise even the last album they ever recorded is worth having. Bit of a shame how Garrett pulled the plug and went on to make a mockery of everything the Oils stood for in politics, but I guess all good things come to an end eh.

As for what I'm digging today...

Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline

My new favourite Dylan album (although I'll probably start saying Time Out Of Mind again this time tomorrow). Among the first bona fide country rock albums, and definitely among the best too (I Threw It All Away :love:). If only it weren't so bloody short.
 
Hell yea. It's kind of erabarrassing to listen to in front of people (with lyrics like):
My hair is, real long
No brains, all groin
No shoes, just thongs
I hate, slow songs


But I like it.
 
The Moog Cookbook - The Moog Cookbook

(i'd post a picture but noobs like me are not allowed)

it's all cover songs - nirvana, pearl jam, rem, soundgarden - but all are done on old analog synthesizers. very, very bizarre. i love it :hphones:

Seventh Wonder - Mercy Falls (2008)

Concept album dealing with a man in a coma and the strange city that exists in his mind, presented in a very heavy yet catchy sort of metal approach. Although a tad blatant every so often, the much better than expected instrumental interplay and vocal work ultimately convinced me that this is the best pop-metal fusion album I've heard since my days as a kid listening to Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime.

and
5


Kezia is 1.5X better than Fortress by my estimates, and some of the Smiths best tracks are on LtB (including my fav, Please Please Please).
